My copy of the Bead Soup book arrived today!

And while I'm super-excited, I need to fix a few things which, in publishing terms, are called errata and I in human terms call things that can't be mentioned in mixed company.

As many times as a person looks over a manuscript, and no matter how many sets of eyes look at something (and there were many, many eyes on this book), mistakes get made. I want to publicly apologize for those right now.

On page 55, Nan Emmett's name is misspelled (she's missing a "t"). It's spelled correctly elsewhere, but not here.

The first picture in the Gallery is completely attributed incorrectly. It should be attributed to

You must be so excited! And mistakes happen...until someone has had to proofread a manuscript, they can't realize what an enormous job it is! I can't wait to see the book--I am betting it will be beautiful!!

Christine Altmiller's piece created with beads from Amy Freeland is AMAZING! Wow, simply stunning .... The Bead Soup Blog Hop jewelry is always the best of the best when visited online; your book must be gorgeous! Can't wait!

Congratulations to you Lori and to all who are a part of your beautiful book!

Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment - I'm so happy for you. Sorry about the mistakes, I know that is probably bothering you, but even with all the eyes trying to catch things, it still happens a lot. I'm sure the 'eye-candy' in the book is fabulous enough that no one will notice anything else!

Hi Lori, Congratulations on a living memoir of your dream come true. I am very excited that the book is finally coming out. Your hard work made it all possible. Thank you for starting the whole Bead Soup Idea. Your Great Idea grew into great experiences for all of us!!
